Have 197K miles on my 2016 Tahoe. Original owner.

Had to fix a few things also but runs like new. Drive from Miami to NYC several times a year. Doing it again in November.

Have zero plans on selling it anytime soon.

You Hi-milers kill the AFM in those machines? Lifters replaced? Can't imagine that stuff holding up for 200k miles.

How many engines and transmissions got you to 431k?
Well, its the original engine and transmission ( 8L90 ). I did have to replace the cam and lifters at about 200K miles due to a worn cam lobe. And I had a torque convertor replaced back under warranty at about 60K miles due to the shudder issues. I stay on top of fluid changes: oil every 5K miles and ATF every year. So far so good! Thanks.

I don’t think that truck owes you anything. Nice!

I bought my 2011 Tahoe with 90k in 2016. It currently has 174k with no engine work done. When the AFM threw a code around 100k, I put a Diablo Sport tuner in that deactivated the 4cyl mode. It still runs great, and I average 17mpg. Oil changes at 50% or 4k whichever comes first.

I have a 2006 Suburban I bought with 80,000. I now have 247000. I replaced rear seal, water pump and starter. I burn about 1/2 quart of oil

I have a 2006 Suburban that I bought with 80,000 miles on it. I now have 247,000. I replaced starter, rear seal and water pump. Original engine and trans. I burn about 1/2 a quart of oil between changes (3000). I did replace some of the front steering components just to stay ahead of any problem.

2007 Tahoe, bought in 2020 w/88k, now w/122k.

Always lurking after all the great input I received after purchase (particularly deleting the AFM off the ECM)

Love my Tahoe :)

2005 Z71. 198,000 miles. Bought new. Everything is stock. Virtually no repairs other than a/c compressor, EVAP parts, front diff (my error), shocks and misc small or wear parts. Have an oil leak (rear main?), a bad rear window regulator, DIC needs repair, and FM radio out. Daily driver.

Miami-Dade said previously that he still has the AFM/DFM. Changes the oil (0W20) every 5K miles.

I might also add that I still have the AFM. One change that i made this year is I switched from 0W-20 to 5W-30 oil. My hot loaded oil pressure was 19 psi with 0W-20. Now it is 30 psi with 5W-30. I have read that the minimum pressure needed to reliably operate the AFM system is 19 psi. I feel better with a little more pressure in the system. Thanks.

Just what @vcode said no issues with my AFM as of yet. If it happens will consider a tune but as long it is perfect will just leave it alone.
